I also received the starting capital on partypoker and having read some strategy docs about beginner steps, I started SSS there. I was going up with the bankroll but it got boring after about 10k hands. Then I took stabs at 1$ turbo sngs and some mtts without any learning about the strategy. Of course I experienced some tilt and with the help of some other experiments with higher sngs, I went broke. By that time I really got to like sngs but they don't suit me, because of very high variance and I can't afford to massive multitable for many hours a day.

If your like me, and can play only a few hours a day, maybe 2, 3 even 4 tables at once, I think the best thing is BSS. Of course read, understand and really follow the strategy articles at first.

The last advice, if you can call it that... my favorite rule which helped me a lot is "don't fall in love with your hand", may the power of FOLD be with you

Thing is with bss is that on the low/micro limits to many people call your raise on a killer hand before the flop and they get lucky! Thanks for the advice! I think I'll do some sngs. Turbo or regular? Surely turbo is based more on luck. I'll read up on the articals when I get home from work. But yea on pkr I'm doing well on sngs

Please excuse my ignorance, but how have they made the strategy obsolete?

Well it can tilt You and lower fold equity estimations since some fishes dont fold at all, but that leads to cool implied odds. Your problem is -EV for them and +EV for You, so i dont think its a problem. I like fishes who go to showdown with garbage.
